Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan - Usage Guide

Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience, not just because of the intense combat but also due to the perilous environment. Among the many elements you'll encounter, Soulstones play a crucial role. Here's a comprehensive guide on what Soulstones are and how to effectively use them in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you navigate through the game with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant not only for ambushes but also for various collectibles scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll find the red, glowing Soulstones. These are not mere decorations; they are essential for your progress. To collect them, you'll need to destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities. This often requires some skillful platforming and keen observation.

Once you reach The Crevice, the game's hub zone, you'll gain access to portals that lead to both past and new levels. Here, you can track the number of Soulstones available in each level, helping you plan your collection strategy.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.

When you interact with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and improving stats, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can significantly improve your performance against the game's challenges.

It's advisable to check back with Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
